Looking at a QB system for a 4x4
Am thinking 4 panels mounted onto a 1m x 1m frame.
Any advice to offer?
Ive already built 2 x bridgelux Gen2 rigs and 1 x Samsung F-Series rig, so have that basic build knowledge.
So what 4 panels at 2700k-3500k AND which 1 (or 2) driver(s) would marry up with them.
Quick look tells me there are multiple panels available.
500-600w will be ample for my use.

I'm guessing you've seen my original build and upgrade by now.. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=56&hilit=it%27s+alive
the hlg-480h-c2100 or -54, with 4 or 6 ( 6 needs -54) 288 v 2's works really well over a 4x4. 4 or 6 would also work on a hlg-600h-54.. but make sure you use slate 2 heatsinks with only 4, on either set-up.. even the 2100 pushes them a little hard for slate 1's..
for a simple 2 rail frame or no frame, see if you can get slate 2 triple sinks with 2 boards ( like their 260 xl kit) 2 or 3 of those could just be ratchet hung free of each other or a rail of L aluminum or 80/20 down each side..
I originally went 4 3500k because I veg and flower under it.. then added 2 2700k.. if you only flower learn 2700-3000k.. if both veg & flower lean towards the 3500k range more..
